I also agree that it could make these things easier to find if they are all in one place, rather than being scattered through various other forums. It would be helpful to see if there is more interest, and perhaps the new forum could be started on a trial basis.

Yes that is true but there are also posts that have deals mentioned within them that no one would know about if they didn't think the title was interesting. For example This post http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/sh...tos-on-rakuten . I was not interested at all in getting a Masamoto, but I just saved $90 getting a yoshikane gyuto because it was mentioned on that thread.
If I was looking at the general knife discussion or new posts thread and saw that title I'd be like "I don't care about Masamotos" But if I saw that on a bargain themed sub forum I would be like "hmm I don't care about Masamotos, but I do like bargains lets check it out."
